The heater or drum 1s disposed vertically 'in the tank and dome thereof, and is formed' with a pair of heads or plates 26 formed each with threaded nipples 27, in which are secured the ends of the vertical pipes 28, forming as conducting pipes and a surrounding ot water space 29. The heateror drum has a funnel 30 connected to the bot- .tom which has a depending delivery pipe or outlet 31 extending through .the `heating chaunber 10. Said delivery pipe conveys the gas direct to the engine for consumption, Vand in thefun'nel is arranged a series of .s trainers or-lters 32' whose purpose is to completely remove any sediment'or foreign matter from the ga's before enteringthe engine and. also thoroughly mix'the vaporized gasolene and airV as they pass therethrough.

4To insure the production of an explosive' mixture 'I provide two pairs of air supply tak'and each pair being connected with a single pipe 33 secured to the bottomv ofthetank 11 and'opening into the heatingchamber .10, the pipe 33 extends upwardlyfrom Asaid v bottom to a'point above the level of the' gasolene and is thence directed laterally' in opposite directions for connection thereto of the vertical tubes 34.

From the fore oing description taken in connection with t e drawings, the operation of the generator will be readily understood.

Assuming the tank to' be supplied with the proper' amount of asolene, the main supply of hot air enters t e tank from' the heating vchamber 10 where it is heated inpassing therethrough, it being delivered into the gasolene through the pipes 33 and the two pair of tubes 34:. Inv passing through thc within an engine the suction created by the.

engine may at times be more than desirable and may result in too rich a mixture, and for this purpose the auxiliary valves 19 are provided which open when the engine is running at high speed and provide the mixture with a quantity of cold air which-passes isthus carbureted. The air thus carbureted commingles with 'thecarbureted air having passed through the heating chamber within fhetank'above the gasolene and while passing through the heater.Y Byemploying the pipes 34:,one pair being at each end of the-` through the gasolene within` the tank andl auxiliary valves 19 and theair tubesl associated therewith the necessary additional lquantity of air is taken into the carbureter in so rich a mixture -as the carbureted air 7'5 produced in drawing the heated air through the gasolene, and as vthe suction becomes proportionately greater as the speed of the engine increases, it is desirablethatthe mixture be'somewhat rareied. In this manner 80 the engine will at all vtimes be provided with 'the necessary supply of carbureted air having as near as possible the proper proportion of'air and gasolene.` The main supply of Vair andthe auxiliary supply pass through g5 the bodyof gasolene within the .tank and .to

the drum or heater and finally throughfthe deliveryy pipe attached to said drum or heater.

),Itwill be observed that my generator 9o 'sures a perfect circulation and mixture of 1air with the liquid to produce the gas, and

that the generator cannot possibly explode, 'as the safety valves would act' underundue pressure to release the excess pressure.

It will'be seen that my generator isfof small size but large producing capacity and that it can be easily and cheaply installed or connected, and possesses every requirement demanded in an invention of this character. f'

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is,-

1. In av carburetor, the combination of at gasolene tanka drum or heater therein, a10`5 heat chamber, heating pipes'in the said heat chamber leadingI into the tank and to said beaten-means for supplying air to said heat l chamber, and means for leadingthe air from c said heat chamber into said tank, said heater having passages for carbureted air in com-v munication with said tank.

2. In a carburetor, the combination of a tank containing a hydrocarbon liquid and having a dome, a heat chamber, a heater ar-v ranged in the tank and projecting into said dome, heating pipes in said heat chamber and tank and in communication with the heater, and air supply means in the heat chamber, tank and heater arranged to direct the air through the hydrocarbon liquid in lsaid tank.

3. In a carbureter, the combination of a casing having a partition to form aliquid tank and a heat chamber, a heater mounted 125 in said liquid tank and having gas supply pipes vand a surrounding heat space, and means for supplying ,he-t and air to said heat chamber, liquid tank andheater for producing gas.

memsel'n a carhureter, the combination of a V easing' divided to orin a liquid tank and a heating chamber, air openings in said heating chamber having controlling means, heating pipes arranged in the chamber and lan ing to said liquid tank, a heater arranged in said liquid tanlt in communication with saidv heating pipes, air supply pipes in said liquid tank in communication with said heating chamber, and auxiliary air pipes having valves and leading to said liquid tank.7

5, ln a. carloureter, the combination of a casing divided toiorin a heating' chamber and a liquid tank, air supply openings in said heating chamber haring eontrolling valves, intake air pipes having Valves and entering' said liquid tank, safety Valves provided in said tank, a heater arranged in said tank, heating ineans disposed in said heating chamber and communicating with said heater, and air supply pipes leading from said heating chamber to said tank.

6., in a carbureter, vthe'combination of a easing forming a heating chamber and a liquid tank, a dome mounted upon and in communication with said liquid' tank; a drinn-shaped heater arranged in said tank and doine and having a series of gas conducting pipes and a heat space surrounding said pipes, connection with said heater for carrying the gas to'an engine, heating pipes having,l their rnain portions located in the heating chamber of sa id casing' and formed `with branches leadingto the heat space of said drum at its highest point and leaving at its loivest point, air supply pipessle'ading from said heating chamber into said tank, and auxiliary intake air pipes having controlling valves and leading from the outerj air into said tank. 4 5

7. .ln a carhureter, the combination of a' heating chamber, a snrniouniting` liquid tank,

a heater disposed in said tanlr and composed v ot pipes ope/inns,r into said tanlr at their per ends, a cnncentrator or tunnel at the lower open end oi said pipes, filter in funnel and a heat space around said pipesn heating pipes leading to and :irons the said heatspaoe, and air supply and intake pipes in said tankd l 8. A carbureter, consisting of casing having a gas dome, a liquid tank and heating' eliainhen a heater arranged in said tank and dome, a connection leading from said heater to and through said heating` chamber, heating pipes arranged in said heating chamber and leading into tank, said heating pipes being Connected to said l'ieater4 near its top and bottom, air intake pipes in f' said tank entering lliroin the outer air, and air supply pipes discharging into said 'tanli' and receiving air through said heating chambers, f
